How to make it 1. Rinse the sweet potatoes well and cut them, unpeeled, into 0.5 cm-thick slices. Pat dry with paper towels.
How to make it 2. Combine the flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add water and mix lightly. The batter should be fairly thin.
How to make it 3. Add vegetable oil to a pan and heat over medium for about 2 minutes. The oil is ready when a drop of batter rises to the surface right away.
How to make it 4. Coat the sweet potato slices lightly in batter, arrange them in the pan without overlapping, and fry over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
How to make it 5. When a chopstick slides easily into the sweet potato, remove the slices, drain off the oil, and let them cool for about 2 minutes before serving.
Tips: Stirring the batter for too long can make the coating heavy, so mix it lightly even if a little flour remains.
Tips: Cut the sweet potato into similar thicknesses so it cooks evenly.
Tips: If the pan is not hot enough, the sweet potato may absorb too much oil, so test the temperature with a drop of batter.
